Git Bridge : Browser extension

Features

• Adds a "VSCode" button in Github.com, Gitlab and Bitbucket
• Jump from your browser to VSCode in one click
• Automatically clone the repo if it doesn't exist locally (at the right place !)
  • For example, this repo will be cloned at :

  $HOME/repositories/github.com/leorolland/git-bridge-browser

  You can edit the path in the VSCode GitBridge extension settings.

Source code

All the code from this repository comes from the great Gitpod extension and has been slightly edited for Git Bridge.

Build

Chrome & Firefox

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Safari

⚠️ A machine running macOS and Xcode 12+ installed is required!

First, run the following to install dependencies and build the web extension:

yarn install && yarn build && yarn package

Then run the build:safari command to build the Safari extension around the web extension:

yarn build:safari

Hit enter when presented with this screen.

Xcode will open the GitBridge.xcodeproj automatically if it's installed.

Test

Build the extension and

• unzip gitbridge.xpi and load it as “unpackaged extension” (Chrome) or
• load gitbridge.xpi as “temporary add-on” (Firefox) or
• open GitBridge/GitBridge.xcodeproj and run the project with cmd + r. ⚠️ Safari must have Allow Unsigned Extensions enabled.

The extension is active until the next restart of your browser.
